One of these days I'll make some money
And buy myself those things that I want:
Acrylic paints, acoustic guitar strings, a new bicycle seat
For my ride over to your house each night
And one of these days I'll get a real job
One that actually pays
Like my dad had

You know my father, the bartender
Used to wear a suit to  work
Before he hit the drink,
The old man used to do a lot of things

One of these days I'll give up
And give in to the man
